HIGHWAY MEDIAN-BEES

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio transportation officials are trying to attract some new visitors -- honeybees. The state Department of Transportation has planted wildflower seeds in the median along parts of route 207. The idea is to create a habitat for the bees, whose populations have been dropping in recent years. Experts note farmers need the bees to pollinate a host of crops, from apples to pumpkins.
